Stefano Tempesta introduces the four most common design patterns for integrating data across various networks, applications and repositories, and describes their application in the context of the Azure Service Bus. In the age of big data and machine learning, acquiring and retaining information can be surprisingly complex. This article provides an overview and working implementation of data integration processes for applications, using Azure Service Bus.

Jupyter Notebooks act as a kind of interactive “scratch pad” for data science, allowing data scientists to share code, insights and documentation. In this article, Frank La Vigne shows how to work with multiple Jupyter Notebooks for popular machine learning libraries like CNTK and TensorFlow—all in one place and without installing software.

Srikantan Sankaran presents a business scenario that requires issuing, tracking and managing insurance policies for vehicles, and demonstrates how you can use Azure Key Vault to achieve these goals securely.

Binary classification attempts to predict into which of two groups an item in a given set should be placed. There are many techniques that can be used to tackle binary classification problems. James McCaffrey explains how to use the Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit (CNTK) library to create a neural network binary classification model. The goal of a binary classification problem is to make a prediction where the value to predict can take one of just two possible values. There are many approaches to this problem, but in this article I'll show how the CNTK library can create a neural network binary classification model.

When the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency accidentally pushed out an emergency alert warning of an impending ballistic missile attack, it became national news--and a warning of the impact bad UI can have.
